Suggest Remedy For Diarrhea With Bloody Stools

I have had stomach cramps all day with diarrhea. The diarrhea was like cow pies and than less each time. after a nap I am passing blood tinged slime. I have not eaten much today and have been drinking water. I am a healthy 65 year old. Is this something to be concerned or could I just know that it will improve in time.

Hello
Blood in stool is a matter of concern
At first I would advise you for an stool test for occult blood, ova, cyst or protozoa.

Here I would like further information to help you better
Have you ever had similar blood in stool in past?
Are you having pain and irritation in perianal region

Meanwhile have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, dietary fibers supplements.
you should take lots of fluids including ORS, lemon water and fruit juices .
If it doesn't improve in a day or two than you should see a doctor for physical examination and an endoscopy.

Hope this answers your question
